| Zebra Mussels Have Been Discovered in Chase State Fishing Lake. | Chase SFL is an ANS designated water. Read the news release HERE. Zebra mussel veligers (larval zebra mussels) are too small to be seen with the unaided eye and they can be found in boat livewells, minnow buckets, boat bilges, and anything else that is capable of holding even a small amount of water. Be sure to drain all equipment before leaving the lake to avoid moving veligers to other waters. THIS INCLUDES MINNOW BUCKETS AND BOAT LIVEWELLS AND BILGES!!! CLEAN DRAIN & DRY Every Lake, Every Time! Click HERE to learn how to prevent the spread of zebra mussels. | ||
| Channel Catfish | Fair | Harvest regulations include a 15-inch minimum length limit and 5/day creel limit. Worms and stinkbaits on windy shorelines. | |
| Largemouth Bass | Fair | There is a 13 to 18 inch slot limit on Largemouth Bass in effect at the lake. Few recent reports this week. Larger slow moving baits such as jerk baits and jig and pig are excellent early season bass baits. Faster presentations can be used on the warmer days. | |
| Saugeye | Fair | 4+-inch flukes along the dam, points, and rocky shorelines. | |
| Spotted Bass | Fair | Same as largemouth bass. | |
| Bluegill | Fair | Look for bluegill in shallow areas with cover during warm and sunny days. Small jigs or live bait are good choices. | |
| Crappie | Fair | Jigs in brushpiles and along breaks. A few fish are beginning to go shallow for the spawn. | |
